Mr.. Parnell protesting that the Parnell-
ties had been almost entirely shut out
from the debate. moved TO adjourn. Such
a debate, he said, was mockery and a
sham.
W. H. Smith refused to agree to the mo-
ton to adjourn, ON the ground that the
Parneliites had had ample opportunity TO
Join in the debate, and remarked that
Mr.. Parnell himself had been absent
during the greater part of the debate.
To this MIR. Parnell retorted: "lt is
curious. l also notice the absence of the
right honorable gentleman" Parnellite
cheers.
Mr.. Smith denied that he had been ab-
sent more than an hour at time during
the whole of the debate.
Mr.. Gladstone said be regretted that
the leader of the House of Commons had
taken the dangerous course of comment
ing upon the absence OF individuals.
When he had more experience in his
present position he would find such OBJ
servations much resented. He hoped,
however, that Mr.. ParnelPs motion
would not be pressed. Suoh motions
would tend to thicken the coming fray,
which he foresaw from Mr.. Goschen's
going to be thick enough.
Mr.. Sexton said that although Mr..
ParnelPs health was far from robust his
attendance would compare favorably
with that of any member of the govern
ment. The Irish mem Ders would take
care to be fully heard during the next and
subsequent stages of the bill.
Motion to adjourn was withdrawn, and
the House divided on MIR. Morley's

Tor private measures.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt remarked
that the last division showed that the
coercion bill would not occupy as much
time as might have been expected. The
motion was negatiyed.
The resolution to grant urgency for the
crimes bill was agreed to. and the first
reading of the bill was fixed for Monday.
Mr.. Parnell gave notice that he would
oppose the motion for leave to Introduce
the bill by Offering an amendment that
the House resolve itself Immediately into
committee to consider the state OF Ire
land.
The Daily News believes that the gov
ernment will accent Mr.. Chamberlain's
proposal to delay the third reading of the
coercion bill until the land bill shall have
arrived at the second reading stage in the
House OF Commons.

defined his policy, which is one that Will
open unrelenting and incessant obstruc-
tIon to the government in its endeayors
In behalf of Ireland"
Mr.. Bright writes that he thinks there
is no need of another great land settle
ment for Ireland; that the question was
raised by the rebel party as weapon
with which they hope to compel England
to grant home rule, which would be q
step toward Irish independence.
